Hi Everyone

I have recently purchased a new computer and am concerned about the GPU temperatures.

Here are my specifications.

RX580 8GB
Ryzen 5 2600
16GB 3200 ram.
B450 motherboard

My idle GPU temperature is always around 50 degrees. The fans are always running but usually slowly.

When I tried playing witcher 3 it went up to 82 degrees and the fans were on overdrive. There was a really loud noise coming from the GPU fans. I had to quit Witcher 3 to get the temperature down and the fans to stop working so hard.
This also happened another time when I was using Skype and not gaming.

My CPU temperature idles at around 40 and goes up to 65 max when under load.

My case has 1 fan and it is close to the CPU but not GPU.

Is this anything to be concerned about?

Thanks.

Well I mean, airflow is key, 1 fan won't really cut it, that temperature would probably be lowered from 82 to like 75 just with some extra fans.


Graphics cards are made to run toasty, they are okay up to like 95 degrees, normal operating temperatures are 70-85. I mean it's not I guess.. Recommend to be at over 80 for decent periods of time but it wont really hurt it.
